Writer doesn't write

Post by Spannung23 »

Hello,
i had a PC crash (nothing reacted anymore) with a Writer document open. After a restart everything works again. Except that a part of the document doesn't write anymore. Other parts of the same document work. The sites in question starts with the one that was open. The text doesn't appear. But if i write something (what doesn't appear) and close the program, Writer asks me if i want to save the changes. Interestingly i can write when i delete a couple of letters. So i delete the S from Spain and can write another letter instead of the S. Could it be that there is a setting that activated after i couldn't close it and needed to force shut down my pc.

I hope that was understandble
